Child Labor, a Brief History Source # 1

Although children have been servants and apprentices throughout most of human history, child labor reached new extremes during the Industrial Revolution. Children often worked long hours in dangerous factory conditions for very little money. Children were useful as workers because their size allowed them to move in small spaces in factories or mines where adults couldn’t fit, children were easier to manage and control and perhaps most importantly, children could be paid less than adults. Child laborers often worked to help support their families, but were forced to do without schooling. In addition, the work conditions were terrible for many children.

There were adults who fought to make things better for children. But when the Great Depression hit the United States and jobs were harder to find, Americans wanted adults to get the jobs that children once had and finally fewer children were working. From 1902 to 1915, many laws limiting child labor were passed and children under the age of sixteen were not allowed to work in manufacturing and mining. Also, machines began to replace the jobs children once did and adults with more education were needed to run those machines. Finally, the child labor law of 1938 included restrictions on all jobs, not just manufacturing and mining.

Although child labor has been mostly eliminated in the United States, it still poses a problem in a few areas. Some people still break the law by hiring children in areas of poverty or hire children as farm workers. Children in countries other than the United States, still regularly work in manufacturing because there aren’t laws in those countries to protect them. They are still wanted because they will work for low pay.
